Documentation

This buildout is meant to be a basis for all future Jarn project buildouts.
Anyone, also people not working for Jarn, is free to use this buildout.
It is provided as-is without any support or warranty.

Before using this buildout you should read through this document and get
to know the practices it encourages.

Ideas

This buildout has a policy distribution by that name included, which in turn
contains exactly one Python package by the name policy.

All customer / site specific code, templates, CSS, translations and
customizations are done inside that one package.

The buildout and the policy distribution are part of the same Git repository and
tagged and deployed together. There's never any releases of the policy
distribution.

All reusable functionality is developed in standalone projects, wired in via
mr.developer for development. For production these will always get releases to
PyPi or dist.jarn.com.

Setup

The production buildout sets up Varnish, haProxy, two Zope instances and ZEO.
Varnish is running on 127.0.0.1:8080 and the Plone site id should be Plone.

The development buildout sets up a Zope instance with a direct file storage
also running on port 8080.
